          Preparing our LaCie to go out for RAID Recovery, as it appears the controller its' self is bad.

              When's the funeral?

              Or is it sentencing to life imprisonment in the back corner of the store room?

                Well the resilver seemed to go "OK" but it ran for 4 days.

                At which point the 2nd drive was marked as bad.

                So who knows. The boss considered buying another chassis to put the drives in and see if it gets resolved, but $300-$500 for a chassis to test a theory didn't sit well with him.
                So RAID recovery it is from a local IT company.

                  And that is going to be cheaper? Or do they only charge if it works?

                    $45 bucks to just try and see if they can recover.

                    It's all billable time.

                        We managed to get the drive to mount, and see files, but everything on windows was "corrupted or unreadable" at which point we called it.

                          DId you explain this to them? Standard RAID recovery would mean that they hand you all of the corrupt files since the RAID portion would be recovered at that point.

                            Yeah only $45 bucks to take a look is actually pretty good in my opinion. I've used this vendor in the past when a production server took a swan dive.

                            We only lost a few files that we're corrupted. Fortunately I had back-ups of those.

                                I'm headed over to the recovery place in a bit and will explain it to them, of the condition of the files that we could get, and what we expect.

                                And to call before going over board and charging us who knows how much.

                                  I tried the Wipe Data- after 45 mins if still not okay, I will do the factory reset

                                    Came in to chaos, fortigate blew up sometime early this morning. Zero interwebz for 3.5h and counting.

                                    Really wish I could help my boss more than running interference and Joe jobs. I know what I'm doing is important but its not as much as I could be doing.

                                      Debating the life expectancy of a PATA drive in this old ASUS Netbook and if I want to replace it with a SSD drive or just get another piece of spinny rust. It currently has a 140GB drive in it..

                                      Only reason I'm keeping it is for back up and to run in the truck ( the PSU is a true 12v power system, so it will run direct).

                                          your netbook has a PATA drive? How will you put a SSD in there? aren't all SSDs SATA?

                                            Pretty sure PATA SSD exists, but maybe I just imagined that.
